How it works
Ibiderm Plus Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Neomycin is an antibiotic that stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.

How to use Ibiderm Plus Cream?
Use Ibiderm Plus Cream as directed by your doctor or based on the label instructions provided with the medicine. Apply a thin layer of it to cover the affected areas. Dosage will depend on the specific condition being treated. Wash hands thoroughly after applying the medication, except if treating hand infections. Avoid contact with the eyes.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Ibiderm Plus Cream for long periods?
Ibiderm Plus Cream should only be used as prescribed by your doctor and in the recommended dosage. This medicine contains clobetasol, a corticosteroid that can be absorbed into the bloodstream when taken at high doses or for extended durations. This may lead to adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome, which can result in weight gain, elevated blood pressure, and changes in facial appearance (roundness). Skin discoloration may also occur at the site of application. Veins beneath the skin become more visible due to skin thinning and weakening. Increased hair growth may be noted. If you experience an increase in symptoms, contact your doctor for reassessment.

Use of Ibiderm Plus Cream is not advised for patients with known allergies to any of its components or excipients.
